Another new month has just started - APRIL 1st. I could hear so clearly the 'sound' coming from the church when I was on my bed...still sleeping comfortably but so coincidentally when I awoke....It was noon. After that, went back to sleeping.

Finished another HK series titled "Dicey Business" although in the middle some parts I didn't managed to watch. Quite a nice show though. Storyline very good, unlike local.....that's why HK media all that is ahead of S'pore.
